Faustine Mwadilo, 43, was attending to a regular patient at Chiromo Lane Medical Centre at around 7pm when he was shot in the head as he tried to convince the patient, who is suspected to be mentally ill, to surrender his gun.

“I was informed that the patient had surrendered the gun without informing them that it was loaded. So when Mwadilo (pictured) handed it back to him to unload, he used it to shoot him in the left eye. It is impossible to tell why,” Doreen Akinyi, Mr Mwadilo’s widow, told The Standard.
